Others awaken star signs. I awakened a bottomless pit.
Three hundred years into the New Era, star signs are your identity card. The low-ranked haul crates, the high-ranked feast, and those without a star sign have to report even their breathing to the Alliance.
Lu Chen, a twenty-six-year-old dockworker at Lingang Harbor, has no star sign and is a good-for-nothing. Four years of wages have only earned him enough to buy a corner of a toilet on Moonstar.
Only when a container in cargo bay three crashes open and a sliver of a dead man's star sign slips into his body does he realize he isn't without a star sign.
His star sign is called a black hole.
It devours star power and devours star signs. Other people's geniuses are his food.
But every bite of this gift comes at a price. The memories he devours corrupt his personality, and exceeding his capacity will blow him to pieces. And the words "forbidden" mean the whole Alliance will hunt him down and kill him.
Even worse, the scanner his mother gave her life to shield him from was sealed in the archives for twenty-six years. Now, Hunter Huo Qing has dug it back up.
The end of being a good-for-nothing isn't a comeback.
It's swallowing the rules of an entire era, one bite at a time.
